Abstract
Natural calamities that repeatedly hit the Country, ranging from earthquake to climate
change induced events – like landslides and floods – resulted in huge damages, worsened by
the infrastructural degrade and by the abandonment of some territories, especially in the
inner areas of the Country.
There is therefore a pressing need to improve the infrastructural resiliency, focusing on
extraordinary manutention, on the technological development of the monitoring activities
and of the supporting infrastructure, on the prevention, the civil protection and the public
aid. Resilience nonetheless, is a much wider concept, as it was made dramatically evident
by the current pandemic crisis. This includes, for example, the capability of the urban system
to respond to unexpected seismic events or health issues; the solidity of the public space
fabric, of services and strategic program supporting communities needed to promptly and
efficiently respond to sudden crisis.

In internal areas of central Italy, hit by 2016 calamities, the “safety strategy” is almost
entirely consisting in definition of the “Emergency Limit Condition” (CLE). The synthetic
analysis and the application of this instrument is limited inside the municipal administrative
boundaries, limiting the seismic vulnerability assessment to individual centres, forgetting
the territorial criticalities that could rise as a result of catastrophic events.
Planning shrinking territory: Analisis criteria for planning infrastructures and resilient public space in Seismic Inner Areas of Central Italy
This paradigm, limited to municipal administrative boundaries, results in an increased
     fragmentation of the territorial safety strategy, where the connection between infrastructural
     networks at the regional scale is not always achieved.
     Peripheral urban contexts of the Inner Areas are exposed to “isolation Risks” in case of
     catastrophic events, as witnessed after the 2016 seismic events, where secondary
     infrastructure network was heavily affected, bringing great problems for those living in the
     areas.
     It is evident that the reconstruction cannot leave aside the reorganisation of the infrastructural
     network and a sustainable development of the territory, through a renewed accessibility to
     the urban areas and the villages on the hillsides and the inner territories, that allow for a
     resilient living, to overcome such seismic events.
     The paper explores experimental methodologies to bring substantial modifications to the
     villages and minor urban areas structure (for the damaged buildings and for the
     infrastructural network) that the reconstruction allows, making it a unique occasion to renew
     and reorganise the territory.
